Download Twitter (X) videos
Twitter is now called X, and its video links work the same way. VidYoink saves videos and GIFs from public X posts as MP4 files. Paste a post link from x.com or twitter.com, then choose HD or SD.
How to download a Twitter (X) video
+
- 1

On the post with the video, tap Share, then Copy link. The link contains /status/ followed by a long number.
- 2
Paste it into VidYoink
Paste the link into the box at the top of this page and tap Download. Links from x.com and twitter.com both work.
- 3
Pick a quality
Tap HD or SD. A label like 720p is the video's shorter side, so a tall phone video is labelled by its width.
Which X links work?
+
- Posts with a video (x.com/…/status/…)
- Posts with a GIF, saved as an MP4 video
- Posts with several videos, listed as Video 1, Video 2 and so on
- Older twitter.com links
Protected accounts, deleted posts, live broadcasts, Spaces and age-restricted posts can't be saved. A video that only appears as a link to another website isn't stored on X, so there's nothing to save. Please only save videos you posted or have the creator's permission to save.
Twitter (X) video questions
+
Do Twitter GIFs work?+
Yes. X keeps GIFs as short videos, so they save as MP4 files.
What if a post has several videos?+
VidYoink lists each one as Video 1, Video 2 and so on, each with its own quality buttons.
Why is there no HD button?+
X only keeps the sizes a video was uploaded in. When a post has just one size, VidYoink shows one button for it.
Do I need an X account?+
No. VidYoink never asks for your X login and works with public posts only.
Why won't my X video download?+
The account may be protected, the post may be deleted, or the video may be age-restricted. Our guide explains each reason and what to try.
Can I save the sound as an MP3?+
No. VidYoink saves the full video as an MP4 file and has no audio-only option.
